World's Top 100 Metal Guitarists Guitar world 100 greatest metal guitarists of all time: 1 Jimi Hendrix - Can't argue with this. With his output cut short, he could have been much greater. 2 Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band - Cetainly the greatest slide guitarist ever. Another career cut short. 3 B.B. King - I assume he's this high because of influence and what he accomplished in a long career. Technically, he's got the blues chops but doesn't really waver much from that. 4 Eric Clapton - I probably differ in opinion from many, but to me, Clapton peaked on Dekek and the Dominos and his solo records have been spotty at best. He was great for a time but never really blows me away. 5 Robert Johnson - Blues legend. Recordings aren't very listenable. Created so much but relatively unheard. I have trouble with this only because he really wasn't as good as many below him but without him, they wouldn't exist. 6 Chuck Berry - Should be no. 1 in my opinion. Created rock and roll guitar. People still try to ...

myRockworld concert review Johnny Winter live in munich at the Muffathall 9.4.2013 John Dawson Winter III is born in Beaumont, Texas in 1944 and he is one of the biggest guitarheroes alltime . Constantly shifting between simple country blues in the vein of Robert Johnson, to all-out electric slide guitar blues-rock, – Johnny has always been one of the most respected singers and guitar players in rock and the clear link between British blues-rock and American Southern rock.

# This is RS magazine's list of the 20 greatest artists of all time. # 1. The Beatles - Makes sense. Some of the most influential albums of all time are the works of these lads. What else can you say? # 2. Bob Dylan - I could argue with this one. He's a legend, but number 2? # 3. Elvis Presley - Very successful, the king of rock n roll of course, but he was very controlled by his manager. # 4. Rolling Stones - Often called 'Anti-Beatles', definitely top 5 # 5. Chuck Berry - Probably invented Rock n Roll. Deserves to be here. # 6. Jimi Hendrix - First guitar god, I believe. Revolutionary player # 7. James Brown - Godfather of soul, is it? Great showman # 8. Little Richard - American Rock & Roll/R & B singer and pianist # 9. Aretha Franklin - I think she was the first woman to be inducted into the rock n Roll Hall of fame. I'll look that up later. # 10.

California rockers share stage with the Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and many more legends.

No band has influenced pop culture the way the Beatles have. They were one of the best things to happen in the twentieth century, let alone the Sixties. They were youth personified. They were unmatched innovators who were bigger than both Jesus and rock & roll itself: During the week of April 4, 1964, the Beatles held the first five slots on the Billboard Singles chart; they went on to sell more than a billion records; and 2000's 1, a compilation of the Beatles Number One hits, hit Number One in 35 countries and went on to become the best-selling album of the 2000s. Every record was a shock when it came out. Compared to rabid R&B evangelists like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles arrived sounding like nothing else. They had already absorbed Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and Chuck Berry, but they were also writing their own songs. They made writing your own material expected, rather than exceptional. As musicians, the Beatles proved that rock & roll could embrace a limitless variety of harmonies, structur ...

Today in 1985, Route 66 was decertified as a United States highway. Here are some more facts about the iconic American roadway. FACT: Route 66 runs two-thousand-451-miles, extending Southwest from Chicago to Santa Monica, California. FACT: Bobby Troupe's 1946 song "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," which chronicles the highway's path, has been recorded by numerous artists including Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry, the Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Depeche Mode, and Glenn Frey. FACT: Route 66 has a number of nicknames, including "The Great Diagonal Way," "The Main Street of America," "The Mother Road," and "The Will Rogers Highway." FACT: Route 66 was not replaced by a single interstate highway, but portions of five interstate highways -- I-55, I-44, I-40, I-15, and I-10 -- will take travelers across the same area. FACT: Kelli drove the old Route 66 to get to from the East Coast to the West Coast when she moved to Ventura!

biography[-]by Cub Koda Of all the early breakthrough rock & roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers. Quite simply, without him there would be no Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, nor a myriad others. There would be no standard "Chuck Berry guitar intro," the instrument's clarion call to get the joint rockin' in any setting. The clippety-clop rhythms of rockabilly would not have been mainstreamed into the now standard 4/4 rock & roll beat. There would be no obsessive wordplay by modern-day tunesmiths; in fact, the whole history (and artistic level) of rock & roll songwriting would have been much poorer without him. Like Brian Wilson said, he wrote "all of the great songs and came up with all the rock & roll beats." Those who do not claim him as a seminal influence or profess a liking for his music and showm ...

The songs of Bo Diddley have been covered and recorded by artists such as the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Manfred Mann, the Kinks, the Yardbirds, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Doors, Tom Rush, and Bob Seger, (among others). He is a pop music icon of enormous influence. Diddley’s custom-made rectangular guitar, and his playing style, complete with distorted amplification, became a trademark by the mid 1950’s. He was born in McComb, Mississippi, in 1928. Ellas McDaniel, also known as Bo, received his nickname from his early years as a boxer. He played the blues clubs of Chicago, Illinois, in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Diddley’s early legendary recordings were made for the Chess label. His collection of hits include "Who Do You Love," "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Pretty Thing," and "Hush Your Mouth." Bo played on several Chuck Berry classics including "Memphis, Tennessee," and "Sweet Little Rock N’ Roller." Diddley’s 1959 "Say Man" was a rap styled dialogue 20 years ahead of its time. In 1962, he perf ...

EVERY BLUES ARTIST LOVES TO TELL A STORY.. Here is Keith Richards talking about The Blues: 'I LOVED ROCK'N'ROLL - BUT THEN WE FOUND THE BLUES' It was a great day for music when the young Rolling Stones discovered the blues. Keith Richards looks back on a lifelong love affair On first hearing the blues It's very difficult to say - when did I identify the blues as a particular form of music? My mum was playing me jazz - a lot of Billie Holiday, Billy Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan. I mean, it's not your country blues but, as I went on, I realised that I was brought up on a broad basis of blues music without even knowing it, so, in a way, I'm a result of what my mum played. I had a natural affinity for it, I think, so it wasn't like a conscious thing or anything like that. You know, I didn't think in terms of black or white then. You didn't know whether Chuck Berry was black or white - it was not a concern. It was just what came in the ears and, my, what it did to you. And then I slowly realised that what these cat ...

Kevin Mazur/WireImage Rolling Stones Get Loose With *** Taylor in First Newark Show By Patrick Doyle | December 14, 8:30 AM ET Seven songs into the Rolling Stones' set at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, last night, a roadie handed *** Jagger a printout. "We're going to do a request," Jagger said, adding that fans voted for a song of their choice on the bands' new mobile app. The winner? 1964's "Around and Around." "That's an old one isn't it?" Jagger said. "We haven't done that one in a long time!" (According to fan site It's Only Rock and Roll, they last played the song at Toronto's El Mocambo Club in March 1977). They tore through the Chuck Berry classic, Jagger clapping upward and dancing furiously as if channeling his old T.A.M.I. Show performance, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood weaving double-string licks as the song swung in a way it never really has before. "Yes!" Jagger said with a grin afterward. "That's right!"

OK, time for some mindless holiday fun. How about a Top Five list! Favorite guitarists of all time. Any genre. And explain why... Here's mine: 1. Clarence White - Mastered flatpicking bluegrass, invented the B-bender for his Tele, and developed the best country-rock sound ever with the Byrds. 2. Ron Wood - A centerpiece of the two greatest rock and roll bands of all time: the Faces and the Rolling Stones. Masterful tone and a consummate band mate - never stole the limelight. 3. T-Bone Walker - Of all the great blues guitarists, T-Bone probably did more to encourage Chuck Berry and the rock and roll sound. His Stormy Monday is the best blues I've ever heard. 4. Steve Cropper - A white guy in the integrated MGs, he pulled the soul and funk sound together perfectly. Stax, Memphis, never gets old. 5. James Burton - Best country guitarist ever Only Clarence was a real "virtuouso" of the bunch. They mastered "less is more" and never wasted a note, though all could jam if necessary. I could add Robbie Robertson ...

Todays Music Minute Oct 18 1956, 21-year-old Elvis Presley pulled into a Memphis gas station where he started to attract a small crowd of autograph seekers. After repeatedly asking Elvis to move on so he could resume normal business, station manager Ed Hopper slapped Presley on the head and found himself on the receiving end of a punch in the face from Elvis. Station employee Aubrey Brown tried to help his boss, but was no match for Presley.

Just watched the Rolling Stones bit on CBS This Morning. Reminded me of their concert at Auburn in 1969. Ticket was $15, reserved seating. The minute I arrived they switched to open seating. Oh, BTW, Chuck Berry was the Opening Act. It was a great night of incredible music.

I was watching Chuck Berry on T.V. tonight. Also on the show were Keith Richards, the lead guitar of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, etc. Now Chuck was talking about how his songs were often covered by white singers and he was critical of their performances. Little Richard was particularly critical of the way Pat Boone covered songs like Tutti Frutti and Long Tall Sally. He felt that Pat and other white singers sanitized the songs, which made the songs more acceptable to the parents of the white kids. Now the exception to sanitizing the music and making it more gentle were groups like the Beatles and Rolling Stones, who covered Little Richard’s and Chuck’s stuff and played it just as raw and good as they did. Now the white kids would go out and buy the rough and rock on versions of the music of these black artist as well as the sanitized versions of the white artist and when they got home they would hide the records of the black artist from their parents and played th ...

Its wired i like real music like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Billy Preston, Mozart, Beethoveen, Buddy Holly, Simon and Garfunkle, CCR, Little Richard,, and the king of them all Chuck Berry, but i don't like Elvis i don't know why a just absolutely hate Elvis

In the early 1950s, Keith Richards and *** Jagger were childhood friends and classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Dartford, Kent until their families moved apart.[6] In 1960, when Richards, on his way to class at Sidcup Art College, and Jagger, on his way to class at London School of Economics, met at Dartford train station, the Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records Jagger carried revealed a mutual interest, leading to the re-establishment of their friendship and the formation of a band with *** Taylor (later of Pretty Things).[7][8] Richards, Taylor, and Jagger found Brian Jones as he sat in playing slide guitar with Alexis Korner's seminal London R&B band, Blues Incorporated, at the Ealing Jazz Club. Blues Incorporated contained two other future members of the Rolling Stones: Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts.[9]

Eventually, just the way I discovered Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, through the Rolling Stones, I did the same with anyone The Who were covering. That led me to Eddie in late 1967. Hunting down his albums in New York back then was almost impossible.
